  2. bigger plant, more roots, drink more water. get those things perked up!
     
    flower or veg / plant size = root ball size.
     
    good luck. :smoking:
     
  3. Did it just need more watering? Mine is drooping real hard all of a sudden and Im not sure why.

  4. They sprang back up for a couple hours last night and are dropping again, my lights are going out at 1 so I won't be able to water them again until 5 but I'm sure they will spring back up again.

  5. It's been about 4 days since I watered last. The bucket felt lighter when I picked it up. I just gave it about a litre and a half. Just a small amount of water came out the drainage holes at the bottom. I'm hoping it perks up by tomorrow. It still has 7 more hours of light before dark period.

  7. make sure you don't let them dry out like that too often...glad they are perking back up, if they are drinking wayyyy too much water, like everyday, then they would possibly be considered root bound.
     
    What size containers are those op?
     
    Just use the lift pot method - it's ok to keep the soil moist - just not sopping wet.
     
  8. I think you'll need more than a litre and a half let them go dry, obviously not til drooping, then drown them and repeat

  9. Even though you edited and did your research, a quick thought that during flower they are making flowers as well as leaves and stem, so yes they do drink more during flower :D
     
  10. I am watering every other day since I went to 12/12, in 18/6 I was watering every 3rd or 4th day, but I would never let them get droopy before watering, just another unnecessary stress for my ladies..(lord knows I stress them out enough)
